For the month of November, fourth-grade students in Alexandra Grodin’s class at Winthrop Avenue have adopted an attitude of gratitude. 

Each day, the students reflect on what they are grateful for and why and write it down in their personal Gratitude Journals. The journals are to be shared with the students’ families during their Thanksgiving meals.

“This is a really great opportunity for the students to be mindful and to take the time to reflect on what is important,” Ms. Grodin said. “They are really enjoying the activity.”
